How quickly can a locksmith reach me in Hitchin?

For an emergency lockout in Hitchin we normally arrive within 15 to 25 minutes, day or night. We cover the whole SG4 and SG5 area — the market place and Churchgate, Walsworth, Bearton, Oughton and Hitchin Hill — so wherever you are stuck, the closest engineer is dispatched straight away.

Do you work on the older market-town houses as well as newer homes?

Yes, and carefully. Hitchin's centre has medieval lanes and Georgian houses around the market place and St Mary's with original doors that deserve respect — we favour non-destructive entry and fit British Standard mortice locks sympathetically. We equally cover Walsworth, Bearton and the newer developments, carrying multipoint mechanisms and anti-snap euro cylinders as standard.

Are your Hitchin locksmiths DBS checked and insured?

Every locksmith we send to Hitchin is DBS checked and fully insured, carrying £2m public liability cover. You will always deal with a properly vetted, uniformed engineer, which matters when you are letting someone into your home late at night anywhere between the market place and Oughton Head.

How much is it to have a lock changed in Hitchin?

A basic cylinder change starts at £89. Most customers choose a mid-range anti-snap barrel, which lands the job at £109 to £129 fitted. Our engineers covering SG postcodes carry the common sizes on the van, so Hitchin jobs are nearly always finished in one visit. You get the exact figure on the phone before an engineer is sent, and that is what you pay.

Which areas near Hitchin do you cover?

Alongside Hitchin itself we cover Walsworth, Bearton, Oughton, Ickleford and St Ippolyts, plus the wider SG postcode area towards Stevenage and Letchworth. If you are anywhere in north Hertfordshire, give us a call and we will confirm we can reach you.

What Our Customers Say

Locked out near the market place with a lavender candle burning inside, of all things. He arrived in about 18 minutes and had the door open before any drama. Wonderful service.

Emma V. Emergency lockout
Upgraded the locks on our Georgian house near St Mary's without spoiling the original door. The BS3621 mortice looks like it was always there. Real craftsmanship.

Alistair D. Lock change
uPVC door in Walsworth dropped and refused to lock. Engineer realigned it and replaced the worn gearbox in under an hour. £110 with the part — sorted properly.

Karen F. uPVC door repair
Break-in through the back door in Bearton while we were at work. They secured it that evening, fitted stronger locks next morning and checked every window. Calm and kind.

Daniel P. Burglary repair
Key snapped in the lock before the Kings Cross train. Out within 40 minutes, broken key extracted, new cylinder fitted for £102 — and I only missed one service. First class.
